1 Chronicles 28
1 And David assembled all the chief men of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the captains of the companies, who waited on the king: and the captains over thousands, and over hundreds, and them who had the charge over the substance and possessions of the king, and his sons with the officers of the court, and the men of power, and all the bravest of the army at Jerusalem.
Devid kpọkọtara ndịisi ozi niile nke Izrel, ka ha zukọọ na Jerusalem, bụ ndị ndu ebo Izrel niile, na ndị ọchịagha nke otu ndị agha nọ nʼọrụ eze. Ndị ọzọ bụ ndịisi agha na-achị ọtụtụ puku ndị agha, na ndịisi agha na-achị ọtụtụ narị ndị agha, na ndịisi ozi na-elekọta ihe niile na anụ ụlọ niile nke eze na ụmụ ya ndị ikom nwere, tinyere ndị ozi niile nọ nʼụlọeze, na ndị bụ dimkpa na ndị niile bụ dike nʼagha.
2 And the king rising up, and standing said: Hear me, my brethren and my people: I had a thought to have built a house, in which the ark of the Lord, and the footstool of our God might rest: and I prepared all things for the building.
Eze Devid biliri kwụrụ ọtọ sị, “Geenụ m ntị, unu ụmụnna m, na ndị m. Ọ bụrịị ihe dị m nʼobi iwu ụlọ nke ga-abụ ebe izuike nye igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị, nke ga-abụ ebe mgbakwasị ụkwụ nye Chineke anyị. Edokọtachaala m ihe e ji ewu ya,
3 And God said to me: Thou shalt not build a house to my name: because thou art a man of war, and hast shed blood.
ma Chineke sịrị m, ‘Ọ bụghị gị ga-ewu ụlọ nye Aha m, nʼihi na ị bụ onye na-ebu agha, onye wufuru ọbara site nʼigbu ọtụtụ mmadụ nʼagha.’
4 But the Lord God of Israel chose me of all the house of my father, to be king over Israel for ever: for of Juda he chose the princes: and of the house of Juda, my father’s house: and among the sons of my father, it pleased him to choose me king over all Israel.
“Ma otu ọ dị, Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel esitela nʼetiti ikwu m họpụta m, mee m eze Izrel ruo ebighị ebi. Ọ họọrọ ebo Juda dịka onyendu. Ọ bụkwa site nʼebo Juda ka o si họrọ ụlọ nna m, sitekwa nʼetiti ụmụnne m ndị ikom họrọ m. Mee m eze Izrel.
5 And among my sons (for the Lord hath given me many sons) he hath chosen Solomon my son, to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel.
Onyenwe anyị enyela m ọtụtụ ụmụ ndị ikom, ma site nʼime ha ọ họpụtara Solomọn nwa m ka ọ nọkwasị nʼocheeze nke alaeze Onyenwe anyị dịka eze Izrel.
6 And he said to me: Solomon thy son shall build my house, and my courts: for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be a father to him.
Ọ gwara m, ‘Solomọn nwa gị, bụ onye ga-ewuru m ụlọ m, na ogige m niile, nʼihi na ahọpụtala m ya ị bụrụ m nwa, aga m abụkwara ya nna.
7 And I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he continue to keep my commandments, and my judgments, as at this day.
Ọ bụrụkwa na o debe ihe niile m nyere nʼiwu, mezuo ha dịka o si eme nʼoge a. Aga m eme ka alaeze ya dịgide ruo ebighị ebi.’
8 Now then before all the assembly of Israel, in the hearing of our God, keep ye, and seek all the commandments of the Lord our God: that you may possess the good land, and may leave it to your children after you for ever.
“Ya mere, ugbu a ana m enye unu iwu nʼihu ndị Izrel niile, na nʼihu ọgbakọ ndị nke Onyenwe anyị, na nʼihu Chineke anyị. Kpachapụnụ anya chọpụta ma debekwa iwu niile nke Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu, ka unu nwee ike nweta ezi ala nke a; ma nyefeekwa ya dịka ihe nketa nʼaka ụmụ ụmụ unu ruo ebighị ebi.
9 And thou my son Solomon, know the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart, and a willing mind: for the Lord searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the thoughts of minds. If thou seek him, thou shalt find him: but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.
“Ma gị, Solomọn nwa m, mara Chineke nke nna gị, jiri obi zuruoke, na mmụọ nwere njikere mgbe niile fee Onyenwe anyị ofufe, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị na-enyocha obi mmadụ niile. Ọ na-aghọtakwa ihe niile anyị bu nʼobi na echiche niile. Ọ bụrụ na ị chọsie ụzọ ya ike, ị ga-achọta ya, ma ọ bụrụ na ị jụ ya, ọ ga-ajụ gị ruo ebighị ebi.
10 Now therefore seeing the Lord hath chosen thee to build the house of the sanctuary, take courage, and do it.
Kpachapụ anya, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị ahọrọla gị iwuru ya ụlọnsọ ya. Dị ike, rụọkwa ọrụ a e tinyere gị nʼaka.”
11 And David gave to Solomon his son a description of the porch, and of the temple, and of the treasures, and of the upper floor, and of the inner chambers, and of the house for the mercy seat,
Mgbe ahụ, Devid nyere Solomọn nwa ya ihe e sere gbasara otu ọ ga-esi wuo ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị ahụ, na nke ụlọ ndị ọzọ niile ga-adị nʼime ya, na nʼakụkụ ya; ụlọakụ ya niile, na ime ụlọ elu ya, na ime ụlọ ya, na ụlọ ebe ikpuchi mmehie.
12 As also of all the courts, which he had in his thought, and of the chambers round about, for the treasures of the house of the Lord, and for the treasures of the consecrated things,
O nyekwara ya ihe osise gosiri ihe niile nke Mmụọ Nsọ tinyere ya nʼuche banyere ogige ụlọnsọ ukwuu Onyenwe anyị ahụ, na ọnụụlọ niile dị ya gburugburu, maka ụlọ nchịkọta akụ nke ụlọnsọ Chineke nakwa akụ niile nke e doro nsọ.
13 And of the divisions of the priests and of the Levites, for all the works of the house of the Lord, and for all the vessels of the service of the temple of the Lord.
Devid nyekwara Solomọn iwu otu ọ ga-esi kewaa ndị nchụaja na ndị Livayị, na iwu metụtara ọrụ ije ozi niile nke ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị, na iwu metụtara ngwongwo niile e ji eje ozi.
14 Gold by weight for every vessel for the ministry. And silver by weight according to the diversity of the vessels and uses.
Ọ wepụtara ọlaedo dị ukwuu maka iji ya kpụọ ngwongwo ọlaedo a ga-eji jee ozi dị iche iche. Ọ wepụtakwara ọlaọcha dị ukwu maka iji ya kpụọ ngwongwo ọlaọcha a ga-eji jee ozi dị iche iche.
15 He gave also gold for the golden candlesticks, and their lamps, according to the dimensions of every candlestick, and the lamps thereof. In like manner also he gave silver by weight for the silver candlesticks, and for their lamps according to the diversity of the dimensions of them.
Ọ wepụtara ọlaedo nke e ji akpụ iheọkụ na ihe ịdọba iheọkụ. Wepụtakwa ọlaọcha ga-ezu ịkpụ oriọna ọlaọcha, na ihe ịdọba ha.
16 He gave also gold for the tables of proposition, according to the diversity of the tables: in like manner also silver for other tables of silver.
Ọ wepụtara ọlaedo e ji akpụ tebul achịcha nsọ, na ọlaedo e ji akpụ tebul ndị ọzọ, na ọlaọcha e ji akpụ tebul ọlaọcha.
17 For fleshhooks also, and bowls, and censers of fine gold, and for little lions of gold, according to the measure he gave by weight, for every lion. In like manner also for lions of silver he set aside a different weight of silver.
Ọ wepụtara ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha a ga-eji kpụọ ndụdụ e ji adụrụ anụ e ji chụọ aja, efere ịkwọsa mmiri na ite mmiri; ọlaedo zuru nke e ji akpụta efere ọlaedo ọbụla, na ọlaọcha zuru nke e ji akpụta efere ọlaọcha ọbụla, wepụtakwa ọlaọcha na ọlaedo.
18 And for the altar of incense, he gave the purest gold: and to make the likeness of the chariot of the cherubims spreading their wings, and covering the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
Nʼikpeazụ, o wepụtara ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha a ga-eji kpụọ ebe ịchụ aja ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ. O nyere ya ihe osise gosiri otu a ga-esi wuo ụgbọ agha, ya bụ, mmụọ ozi cherubim ndị ahụ e ji ọlaedo kpụọ, ndị gbasapụrụ nku ha nʼelu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị.
19 All these things, said he, came to me written by the hand of the Lord that I might understand all the works of the pattern.
Devid kwuru sị, “E deela ihe niile gbasara osise ụlọnsọ ukwu a nʼakwụkwọ nke m sitere na ntụziaka Onyenwe anyị nweta. Onyenwe anyị nyekwara m nghọta banyere ihe niile metụtara osise ụlọnsọ ukwu a.”
20 And David said to Solomon his son: Act like a man, and take courage, and do: fear not, and be not dismayed: for the Lord my God will be with thee, and will not leave thee, nor forsake thee, till thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord.
Devid gwakwara nwa ya Solomọn okwu sị, “Dị ike, nwee obi ike, rụọ ọrụ a. Atụla ụjọ, adakwala mba, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị Chineke, bụ Chineke m, nọnyeere gị. Ọ gaghị ahapụ gị, maọbụ gbakụta gị azụ. Ọ ga-ahụ na ihe niile gaara gị nke ọma, tutu ruo mgbe ọrụ iwu ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị gwụsịrị.
21 Behold the courses of the priests and the Levites, for every ministry of the house of the Lord, stand by thee, and are ready, and both the princes, and the people know how to execute all thy commandments.
Ndị nchụaja ndị a niile, na ndị Livayị jikeere ịrụ ọrụ niile metụtara ụlọnsọ ukwu Chineke ahụ. Ndị ọzọ bụ ndị ọka ọrụ dị iche iche ndị o metụrụ nʼobi ga-abịakwa inyere gị aka, ma ndị ozi, ma ndị Izrel niile; ha ga-emezu iwu ọbụla i nyere ha.”
